While I try to buy American products, I think I disagree with this trade deficit.

In the event we go to war with China, who is going to benefit from this deficit - and who is going to gain?

Let's say we go to war with China. The very first thing that happens is ALL trade stops. Production all across China stops - can't ship products - and suddenly we have billions in China unemployed. On the other hand here in the US we suddenly run out of products - And Americans are forced to make it themselves. New companies spring up to fill the gaps, and unemployment in the US becomes non existent.

Am I completely wrong here?
